Additional Comments: Raise the volume some. When Mercy man yelled in the beginning, it wasn't very convincing.I would have used an echo the wasn't as strong. It sounded like they were in a gym instead of an interrigation room.I want to hear more emotion from the hero and more anger from the cops.

Dothelala responds:

Thanks for the review JaShinYa! I should have definitely used less reverb in the project, it was kind of distracting. I will raise the voulume in my future projects and I'll also make the characters sound more convincing. Thanks again for the review, I will take it to heart.

Additional Comments: There were several puffs and pops. The villain with the higher voice wasn't very original and I didn't really get what the stuttering thing was with the other villain. The skit had a weird tempo to it. There were a lot of pauses in dialog that threw me off and I got lost a bit in the middle of it. I was pretty impressed with your range. There were clear differences between all of your characters and they all had voices that I imagined fittingto them for the most part. The guy who was asking about the people in the bank at the end needed to be a bit clearer while still maintaining his meekness. Also, I really liked both of your theme songs. haha

xyulie responds:

I don't normally do voice overs. I'm more into music, but i always come up with skits like this in my head. So, the way i see it is how i say it. For example, the pauses. I was SEEING like an awkward glare or long pause and also, Samari having turrets syndrome, but i have to remember that you can't physically SEE these things and i should have painted that picture clearer with audio skill. My mixing should have been better since I have the equipment to do it, but I didn't have it for the contest and had to make do with headphones and a mic from Radio Shack. BUT NO EXCUSES! I WILL BE BETTER!!! Thank you. (and still looking for voice / writting work)

TOTAL: 131/150
Additional Comments: There was some background hiss.There were some pops in the mic as well. There was pretty good range in here though Steve and a couple fo the reporters were pretty close. At times it seemed as if you were reading so work on sounding more natural. The villain was not very original. Since he's bitchface man, work on making him more flamboyant. He's a character worthy to overact. I enjoyed this skit. Good job writing it!

Ragemar responds:

Thanks a mint for taking the time to write out a review. It's going to be extremely helpful, as I think I may have gotten myself hooked on doing this sort of thing. Expect more.

Additional Comments: The SFX could be taken down a notch. a good range between characters. pretty original. Maybe a little more emotion from the interviewer.

Oh stop it you make me blush

[Captain Hero-face]

"Captain Hero-face" by AtticusTheAbridged
Acting: 45/50
Range: 25/25
Fit: 22/25
Mixing: 18/20
Originality: 15/15
Writing: 13/15
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/475153
TOTAL: 138/150
Additional Comments:The heroe's voice seemed to change from a more deep voice to a regular voice from time to time. The rest of the voices were great and had good range. The celtic music could have been turned down a bit. The script was a little choppy, but followable. This was one of the better acting examples this contest.

[TDK1987 Super Hero Sketch]

"TDK1987 Super Hero Sketch" by TDK1987

TOTAL: 138/150
Additional Comments:I like the voices. The store clerk and superhero were a little hard to seperate at times and the superhero's voice slipped a couple of times from the sound you were trying to give him. This was an original script. I think a bit more emotion would have been awesome, but overall this was a really good job!

SingingmuteStuff responds:

Thanks :)

Additional Comments: You had good range with your voices and good mixing. The whole skit wasn't very original but it was well written and wasn't bad by any means.I would have liked mrore enthusiasm throughout the skit. The villain's voice had the best acting and sound overall. Definitely build on that.

StomachBug responds:

Thanks JaShinYa, I had a load of fun doing this bit for the contest. I'm actually surprised you rated it so well, there was so much hefty competish in this one that's for sure! Literally bursting to enter the next one, hope it's to do with guys who are about to pee themselves

Additional Comments: Not a bad voice range. The only voice that could have used more flare is the "freeze gun guy" voice. I like the idea a lot and the mixing was pretty good. I wish I could have heard more examples of emotional range in your acting.

[Department of Heroics]

Additional Comments:This is probably one of the most original submitted for this contest. Maybe overact just a bit, even with the clerk even though he is the most normal character. Really good humor and continuity. Good range, though i wouldn't have put "The Rusty Queen" and "skat man" in the same skit due to the similar voice. Great job mixing!

mrbipolar responds:

you're too kind. Thank you for your honest critique!
